It’s important to note that XMPP is used no less than it was before Google messed around with it (I for one use it). It’s just that it was going to get mainstream when Google got into it, but then Google did Google things and killed the project, making it seem like Google killed the entirety of XMPP.
Tumblr’s plans, too, are met quite warmly, just as federation should be. Corporate players are very unlikely to destroy Fedi due to its distributed nature, and are generally going to improve reach and strengthen the trend of federated social networks. It’s just that people and admins simply don’t want to have anything to do with the absolute shit show that is Meta.

Personally I’d never join such an instance, but I think it’s completely understandable for admins to do so since it makes moderation a lot more manageable.
I don’t want to force anyone to do anything, it’s just that people keep complaining that !technology is filled with Musk spam, yet nobody seems to know where else to go. I’m wondering whether there is any more suitable place.
That’s a great community for sure when posting incoherent things said by proponents of capitalism, but it’s not very suitable for documenting the everyday shenanigans of Elon and the gang.
